Winter fishing is fantastic! Want to catch a monster catfish? Come on! See this winters fishing photos.

The Carolinas are blessed with rich natural beauty and great fishing for a lot of really big fish. Our terrain ranges from mountains towering over 6000 feet to pristine beaches on the coastline. If you like the outdoors; here, you'll be in heaven!

We fish throughout the year here on Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, Congaree River, Wateree River, and the Santee River here in South Carolina. These waters are better known as the Santee Cooper Lakes. I am a FULL TIME GUIDE since 2000 where we are on the water over 300 days a year. We offer catfishing from January-December with a 100 POUNDS OF CATFISH A DAY GUARANTEE AT SANTEE.  We have averaged catching weighing recording and average of 45,000 lbs of fish a year for the last 5 years. We fish for Stripers, and Big Catfish here where they are known for their large size and hard fighting.

I've been blessed in my adventures. We have held 19 World Records and exceptional big fish. These includes: Blue Catfish 100.5 lbs and 96 + lbs. Blue Cat caught while filming  What a Catch! TV Show.  Also a Flathead Catfish 90 lbs, Crappie 3 lbs 8 oz, Largemouth Bass 12 lbs. 6 oz., Striper 29 lbs. 7 oz., Bluegill 3 lb. 8 oz.. Our World Records range from Blue Catfish over 100 lbs to 90 lb Flathead Catfish. 10 of our World Records are with Kids under the age of 16 years old. See recent catches in our Photo Gallery .

We have been featured in 11 different TV Shows like; What a Catch, O'Neill Outside, Bob Redfern Outdoor Magazine, South Carolina Outdoors, and Extreme Adrenalin Adventures TV. These shows have helped launch our services around the world.

Bonners Ferry resident Bud Larsen caught a world record while fishing with us. He has just released the culmination of his writing career, "Fishing With Uncle Bud" that includes photos of us fishing and his world record on the Santee. Click here to Read more and how to order.

We have been in over a hundred magazines like Field & Stream and South Carolina Game & Fish. A recent segment with Brad Faircloth's Carolinas Outdoors  "Catfishing the Carolinas" article series focused primarily on fishing Santee Cooper  with tips and tricks to help everyone catch a TROPHY CATFISH. You can read the article here.   These publications have made our services into a World Class operation hosting people from 17 different countries.

We fish on a 30 foot long Crest II H. P. Pontoon Boat Powered by a Yamaha 250 H. P. 4-Stroke Motor with a 12-foot hard top. We have been green since 2000! We use cutting edge technology electronics, equipment, and high quality products by Lowrance, Shakespeare ,  Pflueger, Pure Fishing , Abu Garcia , Columbia Sportswear Company  Genesis Trailers , Stren Fishing Line , Costa Del Mar , High Rock Boat Dock, Z&M Controls, Southpaw Screen Printing & Embroidery, Quality Piers, Catawba Tackle and Marine Co.

A Special Thanks goes to my sponsors so please check them out.

We also offer some special fishing trips on Lake Wateree South Carolina where we fish for Striper, White Bass, White Perch, and 4 different species of catfish at the same time. So ask about our other trips.

Our waters are highly abundant with fish because of our weather. Our waters do not freeze in the winter. This means that our fish stay active through out the year growing and growing.

These guide services I offer to anyone who wants to fish. This guide won’t promise the biggest fish in the world, but I'll try my best to get you jerked out of the boat by a big fish! I will use my 36 years fishing experience to try and get you what you want.

My fishing is with fly rods or conventional tackle. With my guide services I provide boat, rods, reels, tackle, bait and cooler for fish, unless otherwise agreed upon between the client and I. If you would like to bring your own equipment, let me know. For the big catfish it takes very heavy equipment.
